Member Testimonials
We love the stay and play, especially the women there on weekday mornings! They are so sweet with our son, and we feel completely comfortable leaving him there while we work out. Thank you!
Good instructors for classes as well as gym. Everyone friendly and willing to help. Equipment in good shape and facility is very clean. Good variety of types of classes, including ones with chair options.
I am so grateful for the ladies that work in Stay and Play. My children look forward to seeing Tina, Amy, and Gina during the day and I enjoy that these ladies interact with the children by offering crafts and even lessons like the color wheel.
Our family also values the feeling of community the YMCA provides. My kids see other kids they know in the various activities they participate in. My daughter is so grateful for the dance programming you offer.
Everything
We like the times and the staff who present the classes. I enjoy the water aerobics morning classes so much. The Y is a big part of our exercise plan.
I like the variety of classes to choose from. There seems to be something for any fitness and activity level.
cleanliness, staff professionalism are very good. One critique, should probably go ahead and remove the carpet by the lockers in the locker room and replace with more suitable flooring. Getting I little funky.....just sayin' :-)
There is something for all levels of ability and staff are always helpful
The membership director has an excellent fashion sense, the aquatic guy is crazy (does he ever go home?), the youth development folks have the most fun, the wellness people are always singing because everything is better as a musical....... and that maintenance guy, let's just say he's a horse of different color. Love the Salem Y :)
The diversity of the members. The pools
Availability of so many activity options.
The programs are fun!
Kid and family activities are always fun and the swim lessons have been great for my kids who are pretty good little swimmers now’
The best place where I feel really comfortable
Times and varieties of the morning activities.
They keep them busy ( the younger ones at least ) with crafts and exploration instead of free for all time.
Programs with the YMCA are well thought out and geared towards members in a way that includes everyone for wellness, education and community involvement! It's awesome!
